I thought I'd post some information about myself for swaps! It is always helpful to know a lot about the people you are swapping with. Helps spark creative ideas.
Favorite Colors: I love bright, bold colors.
Interests: I am an avid reader and I work in a library. I collect first edition/rare books and Mexican Folk Art. I am a big fan of Frida Kahlo and I love vintage Vera (Neumann/ladybug) scarves, clothing and linens. I also watch a LOT of movies. My home is filled with bright colors and Mexican folk art such Day of the Dead figurines. I also like images from vintage children's books. I'm always on the lookout for vintage Mexican item and images. Love things with black cats on them! (or black and white cats) I also love aprons!!! I'm starting to collect them. I also like images of 1950's housewives and classic pin-up girls. I am owned by a black and white cat with a black nose named Toulouse who is my favorite photographic subject. I also have a 17-month-old old son.
Book interests: I read mostly modern literary fiction but I also enjoy the occasional mystery or non-fiction book.
Crafting interests: Lately, I have enjoyed knitting and working with paper crafts. I enjoy doing collages and painting a variety of wooden objects.

Hi. I am a doll maker, mostly spirit dolls, fairies, witches and mermaids. I do also fabric art work, love to work with all kinds of textiles. I am always looking for interesting tid bits for my dolls, old broken jewelry, masks, hats, charms, trinkets, etc. Visit my website www.willowfiresrealm.com to see some of my work. I would love to swap materials with people, I have a wonderful fabric stash.
Hi Liz! Thanks for dropping by. I'll check out your site!
This is really helpful! Thanks, Amy! :)
Hi,
That's a really good idea to post your favorite colors and things.
I will have to do that too.
I just assume people know what i like by checking out my blog but what if they check my blog on a day that I am crazy about tomatoes and I get all kind of tomato items when I really only like tomatoes for making salsa.
oh, how I go on..
But, it is a great idea.
I love vintage fabric esp. Chenille and barkcloth.
I hope you get some stuff you love in the Black Cat and Pumpkin Swap.
Come visit me, :) Bren
